Go read RFC-2165 and all the related ones. Then come back and say that IETF is not concerned with Service Lookup. It is a different topic whether Jini should now use SLP or not, but AFAIU SLP wasn't around when the Jini team started out...
The first public notice of JINI was by NYT reporter John Markoff in 1999 and SLA version RFC-2165 was in 1997. At any rate, due to the nature of the IEtrF Sun certainly could have created SLA for JINI with minimal difficulty for IEtF whenever it wanted to. You and I could have, if you and I had a corporation and a collaboration.
